Move towards cashless economy amongst risks for the company

The company’s business operations are significantly dependent on cash remaining the predominant mode of payment in India. The increased usage of credit cards, debit cards, POS terminals, stored-value cards, UPI and mobile payments could result in a significant reduction in the use of cash as a payment method, says the company.

Risk of cash lost in transit

The company has lost cash in transit in the past three years because of such reasons – ₹1.88 crore in FY22, ₹2.69 crore in FY21 and ₹2.51 crore in FY20. However, it has covered the lost money though insurance coverage.
